Yes, I do work in the Pentagon, but I was in Cairo when this happened.

I am alive and well, though I must tell you all that seeing the damage at the Pentagon in person is much worse than watching it on TV.

It's incredulous!

Shana Tova u-meborekhet. And G-d willing, this year will be much better
than the last.

Dear Eilat,

I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you have put out for our little informal SIG.

I was struck by the results of your search and said to myself that it just can't be that 1250 people came to the US from the town of Lechovich via Ellis Island.

Attached is my attempt to make sense of the number.

Hope you enjoy.

Neville.
LECHOVICHERS in the EIDB

by Neville Lamdan
(September, 2001)

The Ellis Island Database is an extraordinary resource. Eilat Gordin was kind enough to comb it for the SIG and she produced almost 1,200 people who gave Lechovich or places with similar names as their last place of residence. SIG members provided another 66 individuals who were not on Eilat's list.

Hence, the question immediately arose whether it was credible that about 1250 Lechovichers could have headed for Ellis Island in the years 1896 and 1924 - bearing in mind that in 1897 the Russian census showed just 3,846 Jews in the town (within a total population of 5,016). Put another way, could it really be that some 32.5%, or almost a third, of the town's Jews in 1897 entered the US in the period indicated via Ellis Island alone?

On the face of it, the answer was simply "no". The figure of some 1250 individuals clearly required critical examination.

The first thing to be done was to delete people on the list of almost 1200 who came from places picked up by the EIDB Soundex facility which were patently not Lechovich, as the town was called by the Jews (Lachowicze in Polish, Lyakhovichi in Belorussian, to mention only a couple of several variants). Then people from "highly improbable" places had also to be stripped out. Since due caution was exercised in the elimination process, the reduced list - 939 names - was assumed to be overstated by 10%. When that percentage is deducted, and the 66 individuals on the SIG's input list are added back, the revised total was 911.

However, the original question persisted. Was it reasonable that over 900 of the town's Jews in 1897 - 23.4%, or aalmost a quarter of them - could have headed for Ellis Island during the time period in question? And factor in another consideration, not yet mentioned - that, after 1897, the town's population did not grow but, quite the reverse, it shrunk significantly,
partly because of the magnetic attraction of more prosperous towns nearby, especially Baranovich which was booming thanks to the railroad, and partly because of the adverse impact of World War I, when Lechovich found itself in the middle of a war zone and was partly evacuated.

One possible hypothesis to explain the apparent anomaly meaningfully could be that many of those who are recorded in the EIDB as coming from Lechovich did not actually come from the town itself, but from the numerous villages in the administrative sub-district surrounding the town. Those people would have very naturally given "Lechovich" as their place of residence, because that was how they were registered in Czarist Russia at the time. And if one assumes, somewhat arbitrarily, that at least as many Jews lived in the villages and outlying places as in the town itself, the number of just over 900 can readily be halved to approximately 450 - or 11.7% of the 1897 figure. This surely is a more reasonable figure for people from lechovich proper.

Additional refinements may be required, but they are of a lesser order.
For example, not everyone who arrived at Ellis Island was admitted to the US
- so remove, say, another 1-2% (?). Then, many bona fide Lechovichers had relocated before they sailed for America and are thus listed in the Ships' Manifests as coming from such towns as Baranovich, Nesvizh and Kletsk
- so add on, say 2-3% (?).

Altogether, after adjusting the numbers as above, it appears that perhaps 12-13% of the town's population in 1897 (460 - 500 individuals) entered the US via Ellis Island. In and of itself, this is a fascinating statistic, bearing in mind the many other entry-points into the US, including overland via Canada.

An additional perspective is to be found in a Polish Census which recorded the town's Jewish population, in 1921, as 1656 individuals (out of a total of 2819). This depleted number in comparison with 1897 (less than half) clearly reflects a combination of emigration, relocation and the effects of war.

Some Particulars.

1. Rhythm of Migration.

The first Lechovicher found to have passed through Ellis Island is Reise Mandel-Adelsohn, who arrived with her children (via Kletsk) in 1896. Thereafter, people came in one's and two's, until the trickle became a flow in 1902 (with 16 names). Lechovich arrivals totally ceased during World War I and the two years of Russian-Polish turmoil thereafter, only to resume slowly in 1920 (a mere 95 people over the five years between 1920 and 1924).

2. Peak Years of Arrival.

446 or virtually half of our core group of "over 900" Lechovichers arrived in just four years: 106 in 1904 (the year after the Kishenev Pogroms);
117 and 105 in 1906 and 1907 respectively (the two years after the "1905 Revolution"); and 118 in 1913 (the year before the outbreak of World War 1).

3. Ages.

Lechovichers arriving at Ellis Island ranged in age from a new-born of two months to a 67 year old. However, 462 - or over half of the core group - fell into the 16 - 25 year old bracket. If that bracket is widened to 14 - 30 years old, then the number rises to 570, or about 63% of the total. Noteworthy.

4. Family Groupings and Migration Patterns.

Among the Lechovichers arriving at Ellis Island were singles, husbands travelling ahead of their families, wives and children joining their husbands and fathers, complete families, and even a few elderly people. The different groupings are difficult to quantify but presumably they reflect the general migration patterns of Jews from other "shtetlach" in the Minsk Guber

) Harold Rhode works for the Dept. of Defense; I believe in the Pentagon.
Do we know that
he is OK?

If there are other Pentagon or World Trade Center-Jewish Gen affiliates
affected, I think it is important to use some central networking
mechanism to check in and let us know. Perhaps this is the most
effective mechanism?
